Netflix: Stranger Things

This show is fantastic, it has great acting and a phenomenal soundtrack. Only 8 episodes but highly recommend it.

 

It takes place in the 80s about some gov experiment going wrong and the main story revolves around some kids. This show is like if Steven King had a love child with JJ Abrams that was delivered by Spielberg.

yup, started watching it on Saturday. Great show.

Wow, I binge watched this show, it's excellent!  But if they do a season 2, better do it quick, we all know that kids grow fast.

Watched the first 2 episodes, enjoying it so far. I'm anxious to watch some more...

[Luc2k]

I also binged, ignoring a worsening headache for the last 2-3 episodes. While its elements are not original, the whole is very good, along with acting and music.

On episode 5 and loving it. I've also noticed a side effect of being put in a severe synth-wave/outrun music mood.

Great series! A coworker told me I should watch it so decided to give it a try earlier this evening. That was a mistake as I watched the 1st 4 episodes and now it is almost 1am... have to get up for work in a few hours.

I've heard some decent things about this show, and having checked this thread and the IMDB page I'll be sure to give it a go over the weekend.

I don't have Netflix but I'm hearing a lot about this so I might have to sub for a month or so to catch this.

That boat sailed (probably twice :p) a long time ago

I thought it was great  Millie Bobby Brown stole it with her performance, she was also great in Intruders (which got cancelled) I expect great things from her.

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

watched the whole thing yesterday, was good, loved the 80's vibe.

[ATLien_0]

Loved the show and all the references to classic Stephen King, Poltergeist and the Goonies. Also didn't know it was filmed here in Georgia till I saw Georgia Tech's campus as part of it. 

[Showan]

Winona Ryder was amazing...

 

Stranger things is just an amazing show all around...

 

Just didn't like the fact, that one particular person was "redeemed" at the end...

I didn't even realize that was the same girl...

 

Dustin was my favorite, that kid cracked me up.

Apparently those are all the episode titles for next season...

[Draconian Guppy]

just finished this during teh week end.

 

So basically my take on it.

 

Spoiler

1. Eleven is still there.

2. Will is going turn into something

3. The chief is now part of the gov't and will probably have turn for the worse before realizing he made mistakes?  

am i missing something?

Thanks for looking out! I did yesterday, great so far! If it weren't so early in the morning, I'd come up with a way of weaving in how you're a real human being and a real hero.

Looool, that album was my roadtrip choice last month, it's eerily haunting in a really melancholy yet satisfying way.  There's a lot of what people are calling "80s synthpop" out there, often produced and named by people who weren't around in the 80s - this feels authentic.
